Why ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adolescence <\/strong>is considered a major period <\/strong>in the structuring and establishment of the personality. It is usually at this time that behavioural and mental disorders<\/strong> may manifest themselves. These disorders may be associated with school difficulties (failure, expulsion, dropping out), risky behaviour (drug and alcohol abuse and risky sexual behaviour) or delinquency.<\/p>\n

Another problem facing adolescents around the world is the lack of physical activity<\/strong>. Sport <\/strong>has important health benefits<\/strong>, such as preventing cardiovascular disease, reducing <\/strong>symptoms of depression<\/strong> and anxiety<\/strong>, and improving learning and thinking skills. Despite these proven benefits, more than 80% of the world’s adolescent population is insufficiently physically active, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). <\/p>\n

How ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Therefore, this project intends to involve adolescents and young people with challenging behaviours in a sport mentoring programme<\/strong> in order to strengthen their motivation to pursue a healthy and sustainable lifestyle<\/strong>. This programme will offer a youth-centred methodology where young people will have time to interact with their mentor, play sports and be in contact with the environment.<\/p>\n

To reach this goal, the concrete objectives<\/strong> of the project are :       <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. to develop a guide <\/strong>to define the scientific basis for a sports mentoring programme for young people (13-19 years old) with challenging behaviour<\/li>\n
  2. to develop a sports mentoring programme<\/strong> that will support 120 mentors and mentees in the partner countries   <\/li>\n
  3. to develop an eco-citizenship toolkit<\/strong> to support the sport mentoring programme         <\/li>\n
  4. to develop a SportyMentor mobile app<\/strong> to promote sports activities and create a link between mentor and mentee, as well as to raise awareness of environmental and sustainability issues
     <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For whom ? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Sporty Mentor is a participatory programme for :<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. young <\/strong>people aged 13-19<\/strong> with challenging behaviour <\/li>\n
    2. young adults<\/strong> who want to exchange and share their knowledge and experience through mentoring<\/li>\n
    3. professionals <\/strong>in contact with these young people in difficulty     
          <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
